Probably not a good idea, there are known exploitable holes in 2.6.27 era
kernels and nobody maintains anything that old.
I guess RHEL/Centos might work for you.
I've not had any problems with leaks in 3.6 but there have been a few
reports and its clear that some obscure configurations trigger something
bad.
Gnome 3 on the other hand leaks like a sieve.
